The Prometheus School of Running Away from Things is a reoccurring sin in the CinemaSins videos. The sin is usually applied to scenes in which a character runs in a straight line away from danger instead of dodging to the side or doing something else to avoid danger.

This sin originated from the Prometheus sins video when a character was seen running in the direction of a giant toppling structure that is falling instead of dodging to the side, which would have been much safer.

Characters who actually do dodge to the side (notable examples include a soldier in Kong: Skull Island and the title character of Disney's Hercules) are said to have not attended the Prometheus School of Running Away from Things.
